Thanks diy. The Moy Park biomass project does indeed use wood pellets. It doesn’t say if they are imported but the supply agreement is with a company that has a wood pellet production facility at Girvan in Scotland, so I would guess they come from there.

As you conclude, many of the projects are not very sound from an ethical stand point…poultry farms especially, so that would be a red line.

Also, I am not convinced that biomass is the solution to reducing CO2 emission. Many use wood pellets which are shipped in from the likes of the US and Canada. The transport is very carbon intensive and the net result is a higher carbon output per KwH compared to gas and certainly far more than solar and wind.

So personally, I will not be adding this to my portfolio.
